Seems to be such a regular everyday act. Someone has to bring these boxes and offerings to the cemetery. Your picture makes it look so much matter of fact, without complicated ritual. Christine

I was just reading up a bit on Ancestor's Day and how offerings were made to the dead and figured it was a gift of a house. The gift of fire seems to be rather popular.
